At a press conference on The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, Jennifer spoke about her attitude to work: "I try to keep working so people can see other characters and other things I can do instead of taking vacation time, and now I'm aging like a president."

She continued: "I hate waking up without a goal or going to sleep without achieving anything."

At the conference, Jennifer spoke about her desire to take on more diverse roles since playing Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games franchise, meaning she gives herself little time off: "I remember there have been a few times where I would have loved time off," she said. "But I was very aware of how overwhelming these movies and this character was, and that was a big fear of mine signing on to these movies."

J-Law's next movie is Joy, an biographical comedy-drama about the life of Joy Mangano who founds a business dynasty after inventing the Magic Mop. See the teaser trailer below.

She stars alongside Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro in the film, which is is due to be release on Christmas day.
